"As I proudly remain the IBF World champion, I wish the WBA and whoever they crown the same short lived pleasure as I will be coming to reclaim what is rightfully mine.”

:good

 

u can count on stiffles to pounce on every post.


changing ones mind is changing ones mind.

thanks for contributing nothing hypocrite.

 

1 had 3 months to defend 2 belts. One went into a retirement that no amount of money would make him come out of BEFORE defending it once. No comparison Busteroonie.:hi:

 

I liked the sound of that too mate.:good

 

Oh guys cmon this is all theatre..geale never showed the WBA belt when with mundine at the presser.he knew then and this is building for a grudge match with GGG in 2013..
Hbo are behind this...

 

Hmmm maybe that had something to do with the fact that he didn't have the belt yet??? FFS you lack of boxing knowledge becomes more evident with every post you make.

 

I'm confused, Geale doesn't defend either belt but keeps one and not the other.... If he choose to fight his mandatory IBF Soliman, would've the WBA still stripped him of their belt :think

 

u got to remember that grange always knew they had to go against GGG
k2 have been pushing for this and now they got there golden egg.
its gonna be a big fight next year guys so dont worry..

 

They also knew that Sturm had deffered fighting GGG for how long? So you could forgive them for thinking they could be convinced to make GGG wait a little longer.....though I wonder how much the WBA made from Sturm over that 10 year period he was champ. Geale wasnt the WBA's golden boy, so didnt get the same favours extended to him.

 

I dont know if anyone mentioned it, but Martin Murray is apparently fighting for the WBA interim title now too. How the **** does the WBA work?? Interim champion, regular champion and super champion makes such a joke to consider any of them a world champion.

 

DW he wont beat geale:yep

 

That's a good point!

It's the same as the winner of Geale - Mundine II knowing in advance that they will have to fight Sam Soliman according to the IBF.

Whether the winner does or doesn't is another story, but the same rule may apply like the WBA have done here.

 

Good article from Scott Christ on the situation....I like Scott. Doesn't pull any punches. See below.

"Daniel Geale is predictably outraged, and rightly so, by the WBA's ludicrous decision to strip him of his middleweight title belt, and has lashed out at the sanctioning body, which never even sent him the title belt he won in September from Felix Sturm.

Geale is taking basically the same stance anyone with a brain would, that he's being very clearly screwed by the organization. After years of not forcing favored son Sturm to face a mandatory challenger, the WBA has chosen to blame Geale for not facing Gennady Golovkin immediately after winning his title, instead opting for a bigger money bout in Australia with Anthony Mundine in January.

"What Felix Sturm did by not defending against the mandatory had nothing to do with me,'' Geale said. "But they gave me half the time frame they usually give for a mandatory defence. I have no problem fighting Golovkin, but if I did it would mean going to the US and fighting on a small card with crap money for a title fight.

"The Mundine fight is much more viable, it helps my profile massively and is a better money fight, and opens doors in the US. If I had taken the mandatory with the WBA, then I'm quite sure the IBF would have stripped me so I was in a no-win situation."

This is an obvious case of typical boxing political nonsense, nothing at all to do with fairness or sport, and everything to do with bureaucratic, money-grubbing B.S.

There's really not much more to say about it than that. Geale is mad, and he should be. He's calling them out for what is a completely transparent and bogus decision, and it's good that he is. I'm not even saying Geale-Mundine II is some great fight, and I don't agree with him that it opens any doors in the U.S., because it doesn't -- Mundine is nobody here, and the fight is about making money at home, and getting revenge for Geale's only career loss. And that's fine. But it's impossible to disagree with the idea that he's being shafted by boxing's usual crap. It's exactly what has happened.

Maybe next, Golovkin can be offered a terrible deal to face Sturm, one so bad that he'll turn it down, and Sturm can face Julien Marie Sainte for the vacant title."

 

I think it's pretty poor form he has been stripped of his title before he has even received his belt. That's pretty ridiculous!
